State Emergency Service - Eastern Group

🌧️ SES crews have been inundated with requests for assistance and with more storm activity forecast today, here’s how to make do until repairs arrive ⛑️

If your skylight’s been damaged and rain is getting in — here are some steps to help protect your home:
🔶 Stay safe first – Carefully clean up damaged glass and avoid climbing on wet or unstable roofs.
🔶Contain the leak – Place buckets, tubs, or towels to catch drips and reduce water damage.
🔶 Create a temporary cover – If it’s safe to do so, cover the skylight with a tarp or even an umbrella from the inside (it will need to be tied down)
🔶 Document the damage – Take photos for insurance before making any temporary fixes.

☎If you need SES assistance call 132 500 or use the SES Assistance App. In a life-threatening emergency contact Triple Zero (000) immediately.

No longer need the SES? Please cancel your request so our volunteers can focus on those who still need help.

Did you know you can lodge a request for help from our volunteers with the Queensland SES via our mobile app or on the website?

To help us out, please ensure you provide as much information as possible, upload photos of the damage and a description of the impacted areas and roof type. Please always call your insurance company first and make sure you answer private or unfamiliar numbers. We always call before arranging a team to help you out.

Our volunteers are locals in the area, so we are also impacted by the storm- please be patient and kind! Stay safe 🧡
